Very good customer service' very helpful. They will return your telephone call if busy ASAP. Only previous problem is in duplicating paperwork, when the cruise line have already got the information they ask for it again instead of checking all is in order with the cruise company.

Another happy customer !

My enquiry was handled quickly and efficiently. When I called back to confirm my interest and Emily was engaged on another call, she called me back shortly thereafter as promised. All my questions were answered during the process and my available Cruise Miles were credited against the order !

Overview

Travel through time along three great rivers, uncovering the gems of European history, culture, scenery, and art. Lovers of history, rejoice! This remarkable voyage through some of Europe’s most scenic and beautiful destinations is perfect for you. Travel through four countries and enjoy 23 up-close shore excursions, including visits to Budapest’s Grand Market, exclusive “Vienna, City of the Arts” tour, and exploring a farm and village in the Franconian Hills in Northern Bavaria, just to name a few. Embark on a history-steeped, perfectly paced European journey that takes you through four countries along three great rivers—the Danube, Main, and Rhine—and to countless UNESCO World Heritage sites. When you step into Melk Abbey’s great library overlooking the Danube, you are entering a center of learning that influenced all of Europe. Walk through the Medieval lanes of Bamberg and see a layout that established a model for urban development across the Continent. Stand beneath the Würzburg Residenz’s soaring ceiling fresco and understand that, even centuries ago, art knew no boundaries, as artists like Tiepolo traveled from Italy to work throughout the Habsburg Empire. Encounter Budapest, which was fought over for centuries, but whose citizens now enjoy a thriving cultural life and a serious interest in good food and wine. Vienna may boast glorious imperial palaces, but it’s also a hip, multicultural urban center, as you’ll see when you stop by one of its diverse city markets. Throughout your journey, you’ll sample regional delicacies and sip the fine Rieslings that hail from the Rhine River Valley. All these jewels that have sparkled through the ages are yours to discover now.
